    Try a couple of tons of sand.....should compress them nicely. Then you can complain on this forum when your car is defected.

    If you want to go any lower than that, you may aswell remove the springs altogether. Are you running mags? Sticking 14s on there should dump it a bit more. Better yet, just get really low profile tyres for the 14s. Then you'll be pimpin' like there's no tomorrow. You can get the whole white wall thing going for extra points.

    Ones again as mentioned above wait until they settle down, 4 weeks is nothing. And do a search next time as well on the subject, many people have had the same issue.

    Take the springs out completely, it will look awesome and sit as low as hell Just make sure you put some small blocks of wood in there instead of the springs for some padding. Will look sweet trust me.

    instead of giving him shit, did anyone think to ask for pics in case it IS sitting high as a kite and something could be wrong, just a suggestion seeing that he is new to the forum.

    true but why would he put pics after the thread was shit on the way it was, doesn't come across as real helpful. Thats the only thing I was pointing out and yes i agree, he should have done a search first.

    not if a dodgy mechanic put in different springs and he didn't get what he paid for, that would sure piss me off enough, I always had mechanic mates and the old mans help, some people are pretty serious on getting their info from here, especially if his mates are computer geeks or something that love their corolla's just for the fuel consumption. (even though they are a good car)
